Traditionally, Labor Day in America is a time where workers get off from their usual job as a rewards for their year long daily grind. However, when it comes to Christ, our work is daily, and we must always be ready and willing to share the Gospel with those we encounter. It is our labor of love. For Labor Day weekend in 2018, we asked some guest speakers of the congregation to share with us on how their work and services has shaped their walk with Christ and with others who are seeking the Lord.

While our culture celebrates the American Labor Movement (or for some, just the recognized end of summer), we turn our attention to the Labor of Love we experience when, like small children getting to help their dad with a project, God allows us to be part of his ministry. We recognize and celebrate the many ways he lets us help—always remembering what it cost for us to be those children instead of criminals awaiting judgment!
